Why Cook Fish in a Rice Cooker?
- Gentle steaming: Keeps fish moist and prevents dryness.
- Flavour infusion: Fish steams right above the rice, infusing grains with its juices.

Tips for Perfect Fish Dishes
- Check doneness early: Fish cooks quickly; test at the thickest part to avoid overcooking.
- Use foil packets: If your cooker allows, wrap delicate fish in foil to keep meat intact.
- Reserve some cooking liquid: Spoon over fish to keep it moist when serving.
- Fresh is best: Opt for firm, fresh-frozen or sashimi-grade fish for the best texture.
